UnHack (the News): Cybersecurity Leadership and Rural Hospitals Under Attack with George Pappas


Listen Later

August 18, 2025: George Pappas, CEO of Intraprise Health, by Health Catalyst, joins Drex for the news. They tackle the pressing question of how CISOs can evolve from security scorekeepers into business transformation leaders who drive real organizational impact. As the hosts examine a recent White House initiative promising patient-centric healthcare, they question whether lofty proclamations can overcome the business interests maintaining today's fragmented systems. Can artificial intelligence finally deliver true healthcare interoperability, or will technical complexities and competitive pressures derail another promising solution? With $4 trillion at stake in the current healthcare ecosystem, they explore whether the industry has the willpower to prioritize genuine patient-centered care over preserving the current system.
